<p>I need your help guys, I’m in the process of applying to CAS, Economics (just down to 1 essay) and i’m losing my motivation i think. I’ve also appied to gtown - msb (first choice), will apply to NYU (Stern-another first choice), Berkeley(Econ), UCLA(Business Econ). I feel like I’m stretching too far, and perhaps I shouldve applied to a safety net.</p>
<p>My stats:
(Non-traditional), been out of school after 1st year from cc,
24 years old now
transferring as a junior</p>
<p>PROS:
73 units at a community college in so cali, 3.94 gpa, tough classes
minimal amount of ec, some volunteer work as a tutor
mun, alpha gamma sigma @ college
no leadership positions really</p>
<p>studied korean overseas for a quarter -> 91</p>
<p>CONS:
[4 year break from school]
lived/worked overseas</p>
<p>high school:
2.0 gpa, 3 high schools (terrible transcripts, i did take ap/honors courses, but i failed quite a few of em, had semesters with a .16 gpa, .33gpa, etcetc), graduated from adult school ('05)</p>
<p>[mediocre SAT scores]
SAT i/ii’s
junior yr @ hs = 1370 -> (600v, 770m)
junior yr @ hs -> sat ii’s 680 (math2), 760(am history)
12/05 = sat 1940 (640v,690m,610w - what is this new writiing prompt? got an 8 on that writing prompt)
11/05 = sat 2 math 2 = 670</p>
<p>ap tests in h.s.
5 us history, 2 chem</p>
<p>Does high school and the 4 year break from school make me a stretch? Or does my gpa cover it enough to be a competitive student?</p>
